A mum-of-two who has been told her cancer is incurable is putting together a "living list" with her family to make as many happy memories in the time that she has left. Sara McKenzie thought she had conquered her battle against cancer after that joyful moment when she pulled her treatment bell at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary.
The primary school teacher was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 33 after giving birth to her youngest child Willow but, following nine months of surgery and gruelling treatment, she was given an all-clear. The family, which also includes husband Ross and eldest child Noah, then decided to relocate from Newcastle into their dream "forever home" in Belfast.
It was a move that placed Sara closer to her family again and life seemed perfect. But, this March, the family's world was turned upside down for a second time.
